My friend your theme inspires me a lot...

May 03, 2018,14:48 PM
 

Let me gather the pics in three categories : The beauties I can enjoy whenever I want...
I could start with no other one than my Wonder Watch the 3448...




followed closely by some Indies dear to my heart too...








and some rare beauties...












The ones I wish they were still mine...
























And finally the ones grabbed here and there at different occasions (friends, Basel, SIHH...)...





















Many thanks CC for this wonderful 10:10 theme which gave me an opportunity to make my mind travel from the past to the present which leads me to think about possibilities... for the future wink
HAGWE to all,
Mike

I wore this unusual shielded watch today maybe for the third time ever.... RADO DiaStar with Molly the Mole RADO DiaStar with Molly the Mole in Monochrome On another day, it was another watch...... Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edn Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edn ...  

Exactly right! [nt]

 
 By: TheMadDruid : May 3rd, 2018-12:46

RADO was THE watch of my childhood together with MIDO

 
 By: MTF : May 3rd, 2018-18:12
RADO and MIDO were at the cutting edge of technology of that era. One for being scratchproof and the other for being "waterproof" with it's "cork technology". Neon signs on the roofs of buildings showed their logos and especially the 'Mido Robot' saluting...  

Wow!

 
 By: KMII : May 5th, 2018-11:07
Thanks for this additional piece of history, MTF

The MM 2015 Race Edition...

....I thought you’d found one too! Should I ever decide to part with it you’ll be the first to know my friend. Loved the GS when I saw it - those hands! All the best, Giles.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, Giles :)

Not quite that fortunate, yet. And did not have the time to look for one, unfortunately. Hopefully at least the second aspect will improve over the coming months

The Minerva is on an interesting background; and it blends well wit the watch.

Great pics my friend πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
